This is our  theatre  review for  Fascinating Aida  at  New Brighton’s Floral Pavilion . So, let’s take a look at Fascinating Aida!

Fascinating Aida

Description of fascinating aida.

Who says women of a certain age are invisible? Three cheers for the ever glamorous, and indeed, downright sexy (not sure I’m permitted to say that, but damn sure they wouldn’t object) Fascinating Aîda, who not only make their presence felt but are so in your face you can see the whites of their eyes as the sweetest of harmonies deliver vitirol in the sharpest of points; a fabled, and fabulous, iron fist in a velvet glove.

And you needn’t think the audience is full of, shall we say, women in their prime either because roughly half were men, and every single person received each ditty with rapturous applause; every telling observation with thunderous appreciation. As to younger people, who must at the very least appreciate all the political satire, if of a sensitive nature, as Dillie Keane rightly asks, what on earth are they doing here? Or words to that effect. She also commented wryly on Cancel Culture – if that ever happens to them, it would be the end of civilisation as we know it.

Anniversary

About to celebrate their 40th anniversary, the trio are as warm and passionate as that ruby, ably assisted by a remarkable pianist, newcomer Michael Roulston, who fits in seamlessly, frequently given the chance to shine, and not just in his sequins That said, ending the show with ‘Sew on a Sequin’ may have felt a bit of a letdown, particularly following a cleverly crafted tribute to New Brighton, having deliberately showered the town with praise throughout the show; the first act, blessedly, finished us off with the first class ‘Cheap Flights’. However, ‘Instagram Hashtag’, despite its poignant ending, didn’t have much to say which we hadn’t already heard about, or read about rather.

Analysis Of Fascinating Aida

But I’m more than likely on my own here because everything went down really well with the audience, if a little surprising not to hear more of their views on misogyny, even if ‘Little Girls in Pink’ with its startlingly vivid images, could be described as a feminist anthem. For once, I actually jotted down some notes, with the help of my companion, determined not to miss a thing. Nor did I, apart from one song, and she was who succinctly summed up ‘This ain’t the Hokey Cokey anymore’ as ‘senior shagging’.

As for favourites, where to start? Well, the opening was as good a place as any. And with the witty, bitter comments of ‘Fake News’, you were quickly made aware that they are simply never going to run out of material; environmental concerns, quite rightly, were highlighted with a monologue as well as a song, ‘Lerwick Town’. For the mainly comic offerings, ‘Lieder’ was excellent, a sly dig at ‘Cabaret’ amongst other things, delivered in a deliciously husky accent by Adèle Anderson, who also enjoyed herself immensely attending ‘Funerals’.

It made a delightful contrast with soprano Liza Pulman, who let us into the secret of ‘Bob’, then neatly showed how all of us would be at a loss in ‘Arguments’, the point hammered home loud enough to wake the dead with furious percussion and raucous whistleblowing. As for the portentously serious re-worked ‘Bulgarian Song Cycle 2021, this was enriched by Dillie Keane’s knowingness. She came into her own over and over again, including in ‘Suddenly New Zealand’ with a sheep puppet. You had to be there, and so you should. They later boldly adopted the traditional Shakespearian route, the hilariously vulgar ‘Dogging’, greeted with huge delight, followed by the deeply sad ‘This Table’, mourning the loss of friends.

Summary Of Fascinating Aida

In over 30 years of reviewing, I have rarely seen a more enthralled or enthusiastic audience, and could, fittingly, conclude with something flippant: if you didn’t enjoy the evening, you know sweet FA about entertainment.

But it soon occurred to me, given the three of them admit they’re party animals, even they would not have attended those parties, although had they done so, and burst into song, would the Government finally realise the true state of things? And if any politician came along to a performance, they couldn’t help but see how much contempt people hold them in. Plus, how the entire country would be laughing at them if the situation were not so deadly serious. Then perhaps, like all the rest of us, they have something to really worry about. Either way, though, Fascinating Aida is must-see.

Fascinating Aïda announce 40th anniversary tour

Including three nights at the London Palladium

Fascinating Aïda have announced a new tour celebrating 40 years

Dillie Keane founded the musical comedy-cabaret group in 1983 and was joined by key writing partner Adèle Anderson the following year, when they were nominated for the Perrier award at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Over the years they have earned three Olivier Award nominations for Best Entertainment, in 1995, 2000 and 2004 – and were this year nominated for a Chortle Award.

The members have changed frequently and the act has had several hiatuses – most notably breaking up in 1989 before reforming in 1994. And they were hit by the death in 2007 of their  pianist and musical director Russell Churney,

Their current third member, Liza Pulman, first joined in 2004 and their new musical director, composer and pianist Michael Roulston will be joining them on the new anniversary tour.

It comprises almost 60 dates, kicking off at the Camberley Theatre on September 5 and including three nights at the London Palladium in February 2024.

And here's how they used to look:

Fascinating aida mark 40 years with big tour and palladium run.

In 1983 there was no-one else like them and, 40 years on, there still isn’t. Celebrating  40 years on the road in 2023, Dillie Keane, Adèle Anderson and Liza Pulman, Britain’s raciest and sassiest cabaret trio are bringing their  new show  to the  LONDON PALLADIUM  for  three nights only in FEBRUARY 2024. And touring from September 2023.

Fascinating Aïda have racked up millions of internet followers, performed in the world’s most prestigious venues and been showered with awards and plaudits since they sashayed onto the scene back in 1983. 

Uniquely charming, with diamond-sharp satire, filthy, hilarious, belligerent, political, poignant and outrageous, this indomitable trio are still the mistresses of their craft.  Nominated for a 2023 CHORTLE Award; their last 50-date tour which began at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in 2019 and went on to sell out all over the UK, despite an 18-month pandemic hiatus. 

Marking this astonishing 40-year milestone, this new show will feature much-loved favourites and some wicked new songs. If you’ve been delighted by  Dogging , sung  Cheap Flights  to the Ryanair cabin crew or sobbed into your hanky with  Look Mummy, No Hands , don’t miss the chance to celebrate with these unstoppable performers in their glorious prime! 

Musical Director, composer and pianist  Michael Roulston  will, once again, join Dillie, Liza and Adèle on stage and the show will be directed by  Paul Foster.  

Dillie Keane  founded the group in 1983 (and was joined by key writing partner  Adèle Anderson  in 1984 and with Soprano  Liza Pulman in 2004) and since then they have played in hundreds of theatres in the UK and Ireland, with London seasons at the Donmar Warehouse, Theatre Royal Haymarket, Lyric Hammersmith, Piccadilly, Vaudeville, Garrick, Apollo, Comedy theatres and most recently at the Royal Festival Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall on the South Bank Centre. They have toured Australia three times, including a month at the Sydney Opera House, and played New Zealand, San Francisco, New York, Berlin, Kenya, South Africa and Singapore.

They have made numerous television appearances and radio recordings, released seven CDs, three DVDs, two videos, an autobiography and a songbook, and have also been nominated for several awards – Perrier (now Dave’s) Comedy Awards (once), Olivier Awards (3 nominations), Chortle Awards (2023) and New York Drama desk (3 nominations).  In 2013 they won Best Musical Act in the London Cabaret Awards.

Despite being around since before the birth of the internet, Fascinating Aïda has clocked up over 30 million views on YouTube and counting, and their videos have become viral phenomena multiple times.  Cheap Flights  is closely followed by  Dogging  as their most popular Spotify downloads and their  incredibly rude Christmas Song  is a top performer on Facebook with over 17 million impressions and engagement of more than 100,000 followers.

Talking about the content, they add: "Marking this astonishing 40-year milestone, this new show will feature much-loved favourites and some wicked new songs. If you've been delighted by Dogging , sung Cheap Flights to the Ryanair cabin crew or sobbed into your hanky with Look Mummy, No Hands , don't miss the chance to celebrate with these unstoppable performers in their glorious prime!"

Musical director, composer and pianist Michael Roulston will, once again, join Dillie, Liza and Adèle on stage and the show will be directed by Paul Foster .
